Operating Instructions

Safety

Before first starting up

• Note the ”Installation and connection instructions”

• Before first starting up, check the machine for any damage incurred

during transport. Never connect up a damaged machine. If parts are

damaged, contact your supplier.

Intended use

• The dryer is intended for drying standard laundry in domestic applications.

• Conversions or modifications to the dryer are not permitted.

• The laundry must not contain flammable solvents (benzene, alcohol, stain remo-

ver, etc.). Risk of fire and/or explosion! Laundry which has come into contact with

such substances must be rinsed thoroughly by hand before drying.

• When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use those products which are decla-

red as suitable for the dryer by the manufacturer.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not

therefore needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the base of the dryer

unobstructed;

– use the loading volumes specified in the programme overview;

– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer after each drying

cycle;

– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data –

depending on spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry, dried using

the COTTONS STORAGE DRY (KATOEN KASTDROOG) programme.

Before the first drying cycle

In order to remove any residue which may have been produced during

production, wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth or undertake a

brief drying cycle (30 MIN) with damp cloths.

Sorting and preparing laundry

Sorting laundry

• Sort by fabric type:

– Cotton/linen for programmes in COTTONS programme group.

– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in EASY CARES programme

group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry

items. Textile colours may bleed.

• Do not dry tricot or knitted items with the EXTRA DRY programme. Items

may become stuck!

• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (WOL) pro-

gramme. Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as pos-

sible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are sim-

ilar or the same with repect to material, colour and weight. Please dry

heavy laundry items made of wool separately.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: Close zips, button up coverings and

tie loose bands or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metallic items (paperclips, safety pins etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined

anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then

dry better.

Hints & Tips on Drying

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care

labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items.:

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower

the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.

• DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in

a towel or spin to remove excess water.

• Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

• Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately.

• Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished.

• Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the

sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).

• Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

• When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you peri-

odically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

• Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning

solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.

• Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as

suitable for tumble drying.

• Very delicate articles such as silk.

• Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.

125985010 gb.qxp 2006-06-12 13:16 Page 14

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning fluff filter

To ensure that the dryer works perfectly, the

fluff filters (micro-fine filter

and fine strainer) must be cleaned after every

drying cycle.

Caution! Never operate the dryer without

fluff filters or with damaged or blocked fluff

filters.

1. Open loading door

2. Use a damp hand to clean the micro-

fine filter, which is built into

the lower part of the loading aperture.

3. Push down unlock button on large mesh

filter. Large mesh filter jumps up.

4. Take out fine strainer.

5. Remove fluff from fine strainer.

It is best to use a damp hand for this

purpose.

125985010 gb.qxp 2006-06-12 13:16 Page 15

Clean the entire filter area

The strainer area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle,

but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff if necessary.

6. To do this, grip the top of the large mesh filter and pull it forwards until it

comes loose from the two brackets.

7. Remove fluff from the entire filter

area. It is best to use a vacuum

cleaner for this purpose.

8. Press both journals of the large

mesh filter into the brackets on

the loading door until they snap

into place.

9. Re-insert fine strainer .

10. Press against the large mesh filter

until it locks into the interlock.

If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large

mesh filter will not snap into place and

the loading door cannot be closed.

Cleaning the door seal

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth immediately after the drying cycle

has finished.

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty condensate tank after every drying cycle.

If the condensate tank is full, an active programme will break off automati-

cally and the EMPTY WATER display will light up. In order to continue the

programme, the condensate tank must first be emptied.

Warning! The condensate is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs.

1.Take out drawer containing

condensed water container

completely (1) and pull up the

condensed water container’s

drainage pipe as far as it will go (2).

125985010 gb.qxp 2006-06-12 13:16 Page 16

2.Pour condensed water out into

a basin or similar receptacle.

3.Slide outlet connections in and

refit condensate tank. If the

programme has been interrup-

ted as a result of the condensa-

te tank being full: Press the

START/PAUSE button to conti-

nue the drying cycle.

The water reservoir has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 6 kg of

laundry which has previously been spun at 800 revolutions/ minute.

The condensate can be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing. However

first filter the condensate (e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any residue

and small pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illuminated, the heat exchanger needs to

be cleaned.

Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can

damage the dryer. This also increases energy consumption.

1.Open loading door

2.Open base door. To do this, press the

release button on the bottom of the

loading opening and open the door to

the left.

3.Remove lint from the inside of the door

and the heat exchange chamber. Wipe

the door seal with a damp cloth.

4. Turn both lock washers inwards.

5.Use the handle to pull the heat exchan-

ger out of the base and carry it horizon-

tally to prevent any remaining water from

spilling.

6.To empty the heat exchanger, hold

vertically over a washing-up bowl.

Caution! Do not use sharp objects to

clean. The heat exchanger could

develop leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse

thoroughly with a shower head.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into

place (turn both lock washers

outwards until they snap into place).

9. Close base door.

The dryer will not operate if the HEAT EXCHANGER indicator is still lit.

Caution! Never operate the dryer without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents may form a barely visible lining on the

inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then

no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when

removed from the dryer. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based

cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to

clean the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the operating screen and housing.
